Chances are good that you or someone you know has suffered from back pain. It's not fun. In fact, it can leave you, well, flat on your back. At least one third of people in the UK have back pain at any given time, making it the number one cause of chronic health problems in the country. Most people wait up to six months to get treatment.
You don't have to let back pain interfere with your enjoyment of life.
Read on to learn more about chiropractic and your back.
TREATMENT THAT STANDS UP.
HELP FOR YOUR BACK.
Chiropractors are back specialists. Many medical doctors in the UK refer patients with back pain to a chiropractor, and studies show that chiropractic treatment is increasingly recognized as the most safe and effective treatment for most patients with back pain.
Chiropractic is a drug-free, hands-on treatment that can immediately treat the source of your back pain. Accidents, stress, or poor posture can injure your spine causing pain in the surrounding muscles, joints and nerves. Chiropractic treatment works because it treats the cause of your back pain, not just the symptoms.
Simply put, it's treatment that stands up.
HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC WORK?
Your spine has a very important function in your body. Not only does it support your body's weight, it also protects your spinal cord, which is the "central highway" of your nervous system. Our ability to walk, run, jump, lift, and feel almost every sensation below our neck requires a healthy spine.
Chiropractors understand how to relieve pain.
The bones in your back, called vertebrae, are connected by cartilage and work together in a very specific way. When everything is working well, your spine is in-line, strong and flexible. The stress of daily
living, injuries, or accidents can cause the bones to shift out of their proper alignment or affect their range of motion. These small changes can cause pain by putting pressure on the different joints, muscles, and nerves along your spine. Chiropractors understand how to relieve this pain. They are specially trained to find the source of your back pain, assess the problem, and make the proper adjustments that allow your spine to work properly again. Chiropractors might also use massage, ultrasound, or other therapies to treat your back problem. Your chiropractor will likely give you advice on posture and exercise.
It's simple treatment that works.
Chiropractic joint manipulation or "adjustment" is a treatment where the chiropractor uses his or her hands to apply a very quick, precise, and safe amount of pressure directly on the problem area of your spine. This pressure momentarily separates the joints, allowing a gas bubble to escape (this is the popping sound or cracking noise you might have heard about). This relieves the pressure on the joint and surrounding nerves, allowing your spine to return to its proper position. The adjustment is not painful, and often provides immediate relief.
It's simple treatment that works.
WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is a highly skilled treatment by trained professionals. The word chiropractic comes from Greek, meaning "treatment by hand". In the UK, chiropractors are required to complete a minimum of four years at an accredited chiropractic college. Chiropractic students on average receive over 4500 hours of education, much of it in supervised clinical practice. Once students have completed their education, they must pass both college and national exams to earn the right to practice as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC).
